HyAmmo is a full archery expansion that turns arrows into real tactical loadout choices, not just basic ammo.
Instead of firing one generic projectile, you can switch between distinct arrow types with unique combat roles, visuals, and on-hit behavior. HyAmmo is built to keep combat fast and readable while adding meaningful decision-making in every fight.
